CAMMELL LAIRD boss Alex Hay says he would not spend big this summer even if the funds were available.

The Kirklands boss takes his side to Belper Town this afternoon for their final UniBond First Division South fixture of the season.

Taking over the Lairds’ reigns in November after previous boss Derek Ward left the club, Hay looks back on his first season in management as a highly positive one.

With Cammell 16th in the table, Hay has managed to steer the Wirral outfit away from any relegation scrap.

Now looking ahead to a summer of rebuilding, Hay admits he is unlikely to be flush with finances but insists he is determined to use the club’s youth structure to engineer long term success.

Hay said: “I’ve been delighted with the way things have panned out in what has been a very difficult season financially for the club.

“We have a couple of sponsors who are looking to join up with the club which is positive and we are now looking to rebuild right from the bottom.

“Having my budget potentially cut for next season does impact to an extent but I am happy with the players we have here already and want to be bringing in players from the reserves and youth sides.”

Hay says he will take two weeks out after today’s match to take stock before launching his summer plans.

But the Lairds boss was keen to stress he is looking long-term rather than just at the 2010/11 campaign.

“I want to build a squad for the future and wouldn’t want to throw loads of money at having a go for one season. Sometimes that has a negative effect and we just want players who are here to play for the club, not just the money. “The lads have shown me in the last few weeks that they want to stay here and we have been playing the way I want the club to be playing.”
